listen - you can say what you want about this, but the important takeaway is that the dnc is a lost cause. voter suppression in an unorganized territory, in the last two weeks to save an unpopular frontrunner?
if you were to call the dnc the absolute embodiment of mindless foolishness, you'd be on to something. it might be an understatement. but, the idea that bernie has any serious chance of swaying the elites is delusional.
i stated a few months ago that all bernie can really accomplish is a rigorous demonstration of systemic party corruption. he's done that, and it will have long term consequences - the democratic party is done, as a vehicle for anything but the status quo. i stated a few weeks ago that he can't win, but he can sure make the party look stupid for refusing to give him the nomination. i do think that's what you're going to see happen over the next few days.
i've also stated that none of this makes any sense unless he's planning a run, but that the decision to run as an independent must be taken over the careful analysis of voter intention. we'll see if that works out or not.
but, the data that's coming in right now suggests that if you want a lock on latinos, sanders is the better choice. the capitalist refugees from cuba are going to continue to warp the narrative, but understand that this is about money and not about votes.
